This European Standard specifies the test method for the determination of the open assembly time for thermoplastic wood adhesives for non-structural applications by tensile shear strength. It is carried out on standardised test pieces glued with increasing open times.

This European Standard gives guidelines for the characterisation of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) recyclates.

It gives the most important characteristics and associated test methods for assessing PET recyclates intended to be used for the production of semi-finished/finished products. It is intended for use by the supplier and purchaser of such materials, to assist them in agreeing on specifications.

This European Standard is applicable without prejudice to any existing legislation.

This European Standard defines a method of specifying delivery conditions for poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) recyclates.

It gives the most important characteristics and associated test methods for assessing of PVC recyclates intended for use in the production of semi-finished/finished products.

It is intended to support parties involved in the use of recycled PVC to agree on specifications for specific and generic applications.

This European Standard does not cover the characterisation of plastics wastes. See EN 15347.

This European Standard is applicable without prejudice to any existing legislation.

This International Standard specifies a method suitable for production control or product development purposes, for assessing the heat release rate of essentially flat products exposed in the horizontal orientation to controlled levels of radiant heating with an external igniter. The heat release rate is determined by use of a thermopile instead of the more accurate oxygen consumption techniques. The time to ignition (sustained flaming) is also measured in this test. Test specimen mass loss may optionally also be measured.
